2 Basic principles

2.1 Time-of-Flight principleThe Levelflex uses the guided propagation and reflection of electromagnetic pulses inorder to determine the distance to a target object. The time that passes between emittingand receiving the pulses is a measurement for the distance to the object. Since the pulseshave to travel to the object and back, the distance D is the result of half of the product ofthe duration t and the velocity of propagation c:

D = Δt × c/2

From D, the level is then calculated with the help of the calibration parameters.

2.2 Interface measurementInterface measurement is possible with FMP51, FMP52, FMP54 and FMP55. It canbe activated via the Operating mode parameter (→ 52).

When the high-frequency pulses hit the surface of the medium, only a percentage of thetransmission pulse is reflected. In the case of media with a low dielectric constant DC1, inparticular, the other part penetrates the medium. The pulse is reflected once more at theinterface point to a second medium with a higher dielectric constant, DC2. The distance tothe interface layer can now also be determined taking into account the delayed time-of-flight of the pulse through the upper medium.

2 Interface measurement with the guided radar

Preconditions for an interface measurement• The dielectric constant (DC) of the upper medium must be known and constant.

Dielectric constants for many media commonly used in the industry are summarized inthe document CD00019F, which can be downloaded from the Endress+Hauser web page(www.endress.com). In addition, if the interface thickness is existing and known, the DCcan be calculated automatically via FieldCare.

• The DC of the upper medium may not be greater than 10.• The DC difference between the upper medium and lower medium must be > 10• The upper medium must have a minimum thickness of 60 mm (2.4 in).

For dielectric constants (DC values) of many media commonly used in variousindustries refer to:• the Endress+Hauser DC manual (CP01076F)• the Endress+Hauser "DC Values App" (available for Android and iOS)

2.3 Envelope curveThe Levelflex emits individual pulses in quick succession and scans their reflection againwith a fluctuating delay. The amounts of entergy received are arranged according to theirtime of flight. The graphic represenataion of this sequence is called "envelope curve". Thefollowing diagram shows a sketch of a typical envelope curve:

2.4 Mapping and subtracted curveThe mapping is used to suppress static interference signals which may be generatet byinternal tank or silo fittings. A mapping curve, representing the envelope curve of anempty tank or silo as precisely as possible, is used for the mapping.

After a mapping, the signal evaluation does not use the envelope curve but the subtractedcurve, instead:

Subtracted curve = Envelope curve - Mapping curve

2.5 Echo trackingLevelflex uses an echo tracking algorithm. This means, echoes in subsequent envelopecurves are not evaluated independently but are considered to be a sequence of movingechos. To do so, each echo is surrounded by a window of a certain width and the echo issearched for within this window in the next envelope curve. If an echo of this type isfound, it is allocated to the "track" of the previous echo. Each track can be assigned aspecific meaning (level echo track, interface echo track, end-of-probe echo track, multipleecho track).

For a given installation, these tracks are in a well-defined relationship to each other. Thisrelationship is recorded during the measuruement such that later on reliable measuringvalues can be obtained even if the echo is temporarily lost or if the device is temporarilyswitched off.

For details on the echo tracking refer to: → 146.

2.6 Capacitance measurement (only for FMP55)In the case of FMP55, the guided radar can be combined with a capacitance measurement.The capaciatance measurement can be used to increase the reliability of the guided radaror to obtain interface values even if the interface echo is lost.

For details on the combination of guided radar and capacitance measurement refer to:→ 155

Capacitance measurement is only possible if the electrical conductivity of the two mediafulfills the following conditions:• Conductivity of the upper medium: < 1 μS/cm• Conductivity of the lower medium: > 100 μS/cm

4.3.3 "Configuration backup display" submenuThis submenu is only visible if a display module is connected to the device.

All software configurations are initially stored in a memory module (HistoROM) in thehousing and are thus permanently connected with the device. As an additional option, thedisplay module contains a backup memory for the device configuration. The transmissionof configuration data between these two memory modules is controlled by theConfiguration management parameter (→ 43). It provides the following options:• Execute backup

Saves the current device configuration in the display module.• Restore

This option can be used to restore a configuration back into the device which haspreviously been saved in the display module.

• DuplicateIf the configuration has been saved into the display module, the module can beconnected to a different device and the configuration can be duplicated to this device.This allows to efficiently configure a number of devices in the same way.

• CompareThe comparison result indicates whether the device configuration has been changedsince the last backup.

For FMP51, FMP52, FMP54, FMP55: Configurations can only be exchanged betweendevices which are in the same operating mode (see the Operating mode parameter(→ 52)).

If an existing backup is restored to a different device using the Restore option, it mayoccur that some device functionalities are no longer available. Even a reset to thedelivery state won't restore the original state in some cases.

In order to transfer the configuration to a different device only the Duplicate optionshould be used.

Einfluss der GasphaseHigh pressures reduce the propagation velocity of the measuring signals in the gas/vaporabove the fluid. This effect depends on the kind of gas/vapor and of its temperature. Thisresults in a systematic measuring error that gets bigger as the distance increases betweenthe reference point of the measurement (flange) and the product surface.

The following table illustrates this measured error for a few typical gases/vapors (withregard to distance; a positive value means that too large a distance is being measured):

Gas phase compensation with reference signalThis type of gas phase compensation requires a reference signal at a defined distance fromthe process connection which must be above the maximum level. The current speed ofpropagation is determined from the shift of this reference signal The envelope curve canbe scaled accordingly.

Probes with reference signal (option for FMR54)

As an option, FMP54 is available in a version for gas phase compensation (feature 540"Application Package", Option EF: "Gas phase compensation Lref = 300mm" oder EG: "Gasphase compensation Lref = 550mm"). This version of the FMP54 generates a referencereflection at the distance Lref from the flange. The reference reflection must be at least150 mm (6 in) above the highest level.

Coax probes with reference reflection can be installed in any tank (free in the tank orinto a bypass). Coax probes are completely mounted and calibrated on delivery. Aftermounting they are ready for use; additional settings are not necessary.

Rod probes are only recommended if the installation of a coax probe is not possible(e.g. if the bypass diameter is too small).

Rod probes with reference reflection are only suited for mounting in stilling wells andside gauges (bypasses). The diameter Dref of the probe rod in the range of thereference distance Lref must be chosen depending on the pipe inner diameter iD, seetable below. In the range of the reference distance Lref the pipe has to be cylindrical;changes of the cross section, for example at flanged connections, are only allowed upto 5% of the inside diamter iD.

In addition, the distance of the reference signal must be measured in thedepressurized state and this value must be entered in the Reference distanceparameter (→ 113). This is necessary because the exact position of the referencesignal is dependent on the mounting conditions (e.g. on the diameter of a nozzle orstilling well).

When can the gas phase compensation with reference signal be used?

Level measurements with high pressure for measuring ranges up to a few meters in polarmedia with a dielectric constant DC > 7 (e.g. water or ammonia), which would cause a highmeasuring error without the compensation.

If there are fast pressure changes, there may be an additional error, since the measuredreference distance is filtered with the time constant of the level measurement. In addition,non-equilibrium conditions - for example due to heating - may cause density gradientswithin the medium and condensation of steam at the probe. As a result, the level readingsat different locations inside the tank may vary slightly. Caused by this applicationinfluences the measuring error may be increased by a factor up to 2 to 3.

Calculation of the corrected distance

The position of the reference echo changes depending of the pressure. From this echoshift, Levelflex automatically calculates a correction factor for the microfactor (i. e. for thespeed of signal propagation). This factor is used to adjust the envelope curve and thus themeasured distance.

Owing to the correction of the microfactor, the corrected envelope curve is displayedin the operating tool in the case of an activated gas phase compensation.

Constant gas phase compensation factorIf the properties of the gas phase (pressure, temperature, composition) do not change overthe time and are known, a gas phase compensation can also be performed without areference signal.

4.4.13 "Mapping" submenuThe mapping is used to suppress static interference signals which may be generatet byinternal tank or silo fittings. A mapping curve, representing the envelope curve of anempty tank or silo as precisely as possible, is used for the mapping.

Static mapThe static map is typically used for rod and coax probes. It is recorded during thecommissioning. It is essential that the probe is completely uncovered when recording themap.

When recording a new static envelope curve, the previous curve is deleted.

Dynamic mapThe dynamic map is, for example, used for probes with a reference signal for gas phasecompensation. In the case of a static map this reference signal would be suppresed andwould no longer be visible in the subtracted curve.

Before the dynamic mapping curve can be used, a static map - if present - must be deleted.

The dynamic map continuously adjusts itself to the changing conditions within the vessel.An averaging width of 1 500 mm (60 in) is used for this. This prevents the dynamic mapfrom suppressing the acutal level echo.

Combined mapIf it is not possible to record the map with the probe being completely uncovered (e.g.because the vessel can not be completely emptied during the commissioning procedure), acombined map can be used instead. In this case, a static map is only recorded for the upperpart of the probe (defined by the Mapping end point parameter (→ 139)). In the

lower part, a dynamic map is used. Both curves are connected by an interpolation area toensure a smooth transition.

For interface measurements the distance always refers to the toatal level (not theinterface level).

For FMP55 with rope probes and Operating mode (→ 52) = Interface withcapacitance the mapping must be recorded with the tank being empty, and the Tankempty option must be selected. Otherwise the device can not register the correctempty capacitance.

For FMP55 with coax probes a mapping must be recorded at least in the upper part ofthe probe, as tightening the flange has an influence on the envelope curve. However,even with coax probes it is recommended to record the mapping with the tank beingcompletely empty (and selecting the Tank empty option).

If the teaching procedure with the Distance too small option or the Distance too bigoption is quit before the distance has been confirmed, a map is not recorded and theteaching procedure is reset after 60 s.

47 Shift of the end-of-probe signal (EOP) depending on the level

A EOP shiftL Level

When evaluating the end-of-probe signal, you make use of the fact that electromagneticpulses propagate more slowly in a medium than in air. As a consequence the end-of-probesignal moves downwards when the level is increased. By inverting this relationship onecan calculate the level L from the end-of-probe shift A:

L = A / (SQRT (DK) - 1)

Where DC is the dielectric constant of the medium.

If both, the level signal and the end-of-probe signal are known, the dielectric constant DCcan be calculated:

DK = (A/L + 1)2

The calcluated DC value is displayed in the Calculated DC value parameter (→ 61).

Positive and negative end-of-probe signals are searched for. However, the level is notcalculated from the end-of-probe signal.– If no level signal is present and if the end-of-probe signal is within the range defined

in the EOP range upper area parameter, the level is set to 0%, which means an emptytank or silo is assumed.

– If no level signal is present and if the end-of-probe-signal is beyond the range definedin the EOP range upper area parameter, an echo loss is reported.

• Negative EOPOnly negative end-of-probe signals are searched for. This is the correct option if theprobe end is connected to ground.

• Positive EOPOnly positive end-of-probe signals are searched for. This is the correct option if the endof the probe is insulated.

• Negative EOP high resolutionThe resolution at the end of the probe is improved by a deconvolution algorithm. This isonly possible if the end-of-probe postion in the case of an empty tank has been stored byselecting the Tank empty option in the Confirm distance parameter (→ 138).

4.4.15 "Echo tracking" submenuThe echo tracking algorithm takes into account the change in time of the individual echoeswhen evaluating the envelope curve. This improves the allocation of the echoes to the levelor interface signal. Different types of echo tracking can be selected in the Evaluationmode parameter (→ 150). A number of further parameters is used to configure theecho tracking more precisely.

"Evaluation mode" = "History off"The envelope curve is evaluated statically.

"Evaluation mode" = "Short time history"The static envelope curve evalauation is taken as a starting point.

The position of the individual echoes is tracked. The track contains the position, thevelocity, the relative and the absolute echo amplitude. Normally the strongest echo withina search window is selected and allocated to the track.

48 Definition of a track: In a new envelope curve, the echo is searched for in a window of width "a" centeredaround the echo position in the previous envelope curve. The change of the echo position in the course oftime defines the track.

In this evaluation mode it is possible to activate the moving track recognition (Movingtrack recognition parameter).

The moving track recognition is used to distinguish the level echo from interferenceechoes. It makes use of the fact that an echo which moves in one direction for acertain time is likely to be the level echo. Interference echoes, on the other hand,normally stay at the same position within the envelope curve.

If the moving track recognition is switched on, this distinction is used as an additionalcriterion to identify the level echo.


Endress+Hauser 147

"Evaluation mode" = "Long time history"The Long time history option is not available for interface measurements.

A so-called tank history is used for the determination of the level and a consistency checkof the echoes.

For a given tank with a given medium, the positions of the level, interface, multiple andend-of-probe or tank bottom echoes are in a defined relation to each other. Thisrelationship is recorded during the operation of the device and stored in the tank history.On the basis of this tank history, echoes can be reliably allocated, even if one echo is losttemporarily or if the device was switched off for a while.

Interface measurement with guided radar (without capacitance measurement)

Basic principles

When the high-frequency pulses hit the surface of the medium, only a percentage of thetransmission pulse is reflected. In the case of media A with a low dielectric constant εA, inparticular, the other part penetrates the medium. The pulse is reflected once more at theinterface point to a second medium, B, with a higher dielectrdic constant εB. Thus, theenvelope curve contains a level echo D1 as well as an interface echo D2.

When evaluating the interface echo, Levelflex must take into account the fact thatelectromagnetic pulses propagate slower in a medium than in air. Therefore, the interfaceecho appears shifted into the direction of larger distances. Using the dielectric constant ofthe upper medium, Levelflex can automatically compensate for this shift:

D = D + (D2 - D1)/B 1 Ae

51 Interface measurement with the guided radar

If an interface measurement is activated, Evaluation mode (→ 150) = Short timehistory is the only option. The Long time history option can not be used incombination with an interface meaurement.

Prerequisites for an interface measurement

• The dielectric constant of the upper medium must be constant and known.• Dielectric constant of the upper medium: εA ≤ 10• Dielectric constant of the lower medium: εB ≥ εA + 10


154 Endress+Hauser

Tank level

For interface measurements it is important whether the container is partially filled or fullyflooded. This must be specified by the user in the Tank level parameter (→ 161) :

• Tank level (→ 161) = Fully floodedThis is typically used for bypass applications. In this case, the device searches for theinterface echo only; if required, the end-of-probe signal is used for signal evaluation, too→ 141. If this option is selected, the total level must always be within the upperblocking distance (UB) in order to avoid that it is mistaken for the interface signal.

Interface measurement with guided level radar and capacitance measurementWith Levelflex FMP55, the probe can not only be used for a guided radar measurement,but for a simultaneous capacitance measurement as well. This enables interfacemeasurements even if the interface echo is lost temporarily (e.g. due to foam or emulsion).

Basic principles of the capacitance level measurement

C0

R

C

A0018585

52 Capacitance level measurementC0 = Empty capacitanceC = Capacitance of the (partially) filledtank

The principle of capacitance level measurement is based on the change in capacitance ofthe capacitor due to the change in the level. The probe and container wall (conductivematerial) form an electric capacitor. When the probe is in air, a certain low initialcapacitance is measured. When the container is filled, the capacitance of the capacitorincreases the more the probe is covered.


156 Endress+Hauser

"Interface property" = "Standard"

Basic idea

The capacitance measurement is used to calcluate the interface in the case of an echo loss.

Requirements concerning the upper medium (A)

• Conductivity sA < 1 μS/cm• The dielectric constant εA must not change and must be known.• Value of the dielectric constant: 1.4 < εA < 10

Voraussetzungen an das untere Medium (B)

• Conductivity sB > 100 μS/cm• Dielectric constant: εB ≥ εA + 10

The factory setting for the dielectric constant of the lower medium is εB = 80. This isthe value for water. If the lower medium is no water, its dielectric constant must bespecified in theDC value lower medium parameter (→ 59).

Installation

• The measurement requires a coaxial measuring system. This can be achieved by a stillingwell, a bypass or a coax probe.

• In the case of a rope or rod probe, the tank must be empty on commissioning and amapping curve must be recorded with the tank being empty. To do so, select Confirmdistance (→ 138) = Tank empty. This automatically calibrates the emptycapacitance of the rope or rod probe.

• Build-up formation should be avoided.

Signal evaluation

• As long as both echos of the guided radar (level and interface) are found:– HA and HB are calculated from the guided level radar.– HA, HB and the measured capacitance C are used to recalculate the factors a and b

continuously (more precisely: The thickness of the insulation is calculated from whicha and b can be derived by a simple mathematical operation.)

• If the interface echo is lost:HA is calculated from the measured capacitance and the last values of a and b.


Endress+Hauser 157

"Interface property" = "Build up"

Basic idea

A comparison of the measuring results from the guided radar and the capacitancemeasurement shows whether build-up is present at the probe.



Requirements concerning the lower medium (B)


The factory setting for the dielectric constant of the lower medium is εB = 80. This isthe value for water. If the lower medium is no water, its dielectric constant must bespecified in the DC value lower medium parameter (→ 59).

Installation



Signalauswertung

The interface distance is independently calculated from the guided radar and from thecapacitance. The relative deviation of these two distances is calculated:

QD = (DI,TDR - DI,C) / DI

QD is displayed in the Build-up ratio parameter (→ 163).

If the absolute value of QD exceeds a predefined limit (defined in the Build-up thres.parameter (→ 163)), the diagnostic message Build-up detected is generated.

If the interface echo is lost (e.g. due to an emulsion layer), the interface height iscalculated from the capcitance measurement.

The diagnostic message Build-up detected may also occur if the dielectric constant ofthe upper medium changes. It is crucial for the measurement that the exact values ofthe upper and the lower dielectric constants are entered:

• DC value (→ 60)• DC value lower medium (→ 59)


158 Endress+Hauser

"Interface property" = "Oil/Water condensate"

Basic idea

In the case of an emulsion layer, the interface echo is strongly attenuated and may evencompletely disappear. Therefore, if this option is selected, the interface height is alwayscalculated from the measured capacitance.






Installation



• Any build-up formation must be avoided in order to ensure the reliabilty of thecapacitance measurement.

Signalauswertung

The total level is always calculated from the guided radar signal. The interface level isalways calculated from the measured capacitance and the total level.

It is crucial for the measurement that the exact values of the upper and the lowerdielectric constants are entered:

• DC value (→ 60)• DC value lower medium (→ 59)


Endress+Hauser 159

"Interface property" = "Special: automatic DC"

Basic idea

The capacitance measurement is used to continuously recalculate the dielectric constant ofthe upper medium. In this way ist is possible to measure processes with a changingdielectric constant.

This evaluation mode is very sensitive to errors in the radar or capacitancemeasurement. Errors of this type may be caused by a wrong grounding, a wronginterference echo suppression, a free-field installation of a rope probe, or build-upformation, for example. These errors result in a wrong dielectric constant and thus inwrong level values.


• Conductivity sA < 1 μS/cm• Value of the dielectric constant: 1.4 < εA < 10




Process requirements

• The thickness of the upper medium must be at least 300 mm (12 in) throughout theprocess.

• The level and interface echoes must be detectable throughout the process.• An interference echo suppression must be performed during commissioning.• There must be no build-up at the probe.

Installation



Signal evaluation

The level and the interface echo as well as the measured capcitance are used to calculatethe dielectric constant of the upper medium, which is than used in turn to calculate thelevel and the total and interface level.

Small changes of the dielectric constant (e.g. from 2.2 to 2.3) can not be compensatedby the algorithm. It is only useful in the case of larger changes, e.g. from 2 to 6.

• Standard– Condition:

The dielectric constant of the upper medium is known.– Signal evaluation:

As long as a clear interface is detected, the specific capacitance (pF/m) is continuouslyadjusted. Therefore build-up has only little influence on the measurement.

• Oil/Water condensate– Condition:

14) The specific capacitance of the media depends on the DC value and the geometry of the probe, which may differ noticeably. For rod probes < 2 m,the probe geometry is measured after production and the resulting specific capacitance for conductive media is preset on delivery.

Logging interval

Navigation Expert → Diagnostics → Data logging → Logging interval (0856)

Description Define logging interval tlog.



Additional information This parameter defines the interval between the individual data points in the data log, andthus the maximum loggable process time T log :

• If 1 logging channel is used: T log = 500 ⋅ t log• If 2 logging channels are used: T log = 250 ⋅ t log• If 3 logging channels are used: T log = 166 ⋅ t log• If 4 logging channels are used: T log = 125 ⋅ t log

Once this time elapses, the oldest data points in the data log are cyclically overwritten suchthat a time of T log always remains in the memory (ring memory principle).

The logged data are deleted if this parameter is changed.

Example

When using 1 logging channel• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 1 s = 500 s ≈ 8.5 min• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 10 s = 5 000 s ≈ 1.5 h• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 80 s = 40 000 s ≈ 11 h• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 3 600 s = 1 800 000 s ≈ 20 d

4.11.11 "Advanced diagnostics 1 to 2" submenu

Mode of operationThe Advanced Diagnostics offers additional options to monitor the process. The devicecontains two Advanced Diagnostic Blocks which can be used separately or in combination.

A measuring variable can be assigned to the input of each Advanced Diagnostic Block.Based on a freely configurable time interval, the variable can be submitted to a statisticalfunction (e.g. maximum, minimum, mean, slope). Finally, a limit detection can beparametrized and its result can be transmitted to a digital output.

The result can be displayed and evaluated by a DCS or PLC. If required, it can also be linkedto the second Advanced Diagnostic block and thus it is possible to combine the two resultsby the logical operators AND or OR.

Example 1: Draining/filling speedOnly one Advanced Diagnostic Block is needed for this application. In the example thisis Advanced diagnostics 1 (→ 278). However, Advanced diagnostics 2(→ 278) could be used just as well.

The level change rate (i.e. draining or filling speed) allows the customer to instantly realizewhether or not the level is changing, and at which rate. The rate at which the level ischanging must be observed as powerful pumps can create significant over andunderpressure in a tank. Pressure relieve valves can only operate properly up to a certainlevel change rate. This is in particular valid for almost emptied tanks. The level change rateis also an intermediate result for calculating transfer estimates, such as time to fill, time toempty, time to target, etc.

Basic idea

The Advanced Diagnostics is used to calculate the draining or filling speed from themeasured level. The result can be transmitted via the current output or the HARTcommunication interface.

Configuration of the calculation

The calculation of the rate of level change is configured as follows:

1. Select Assign diagnostic signal 1 = Level linearized.

2. Select Link AD 1 to = None (= factory setting)

3. Define Sample time 1 in accordance with the expected draining or filling speed.

4. Select Calculation type 1 = Slope.

5. Select a suitable option in Calculation unit 1, e.g.: "Level unit" / s

As the rate of level change is not to be checked for limit violation, the followingparameters may retain their factory settings:• Check mode 1• Assign status signal to AD event (→ 285)• Assign event behaviour (→ 285)• Alarm delay (→ 286)With this configuration, the Maximum value 1 and Minimum value 1 dragindicators display the maximum or minimum value the rate of lavel change hasobtained. Positive values indicate filling (rising level), negative values indicatedraining (falling level). If required, the drag indicators can be reset by the Reset min./max. 1 parameter.

3. Select Turn down = On.

4. Enter maximum expected draining speed (negative value) in 4 mA value.

5. Enter maximum expected filling speed (positive value) in 20 mA value.

Example 2: Foam detectionIn this example, both Advance Diagnostic Blocks are used.

Preconditions

• The process runs at a fixed level (in the example: 80 %)• If foam occurs during the operation, the vessel should automatically be sprinkled with

water from the top or an antifoam agent should be added to dissolve the foam.

Basic idea

The echo amplitude decreases in the case of foam formation. This can be used by theAdvanced Diagnostics to detect the foam. The foam detection, however, should only beactive as long as the level is between 75 % and 85 %.

85%

75%

A0022594

61 Decrease of the amplitude in case of foam formation

A Amplitude threshold for foam detection

Configuration of the level monitoring

In order to ensure that the level is within the correct range, configure the Advanceddiagnostics 1 submenu (→ 278) submenu as follows:

1. Navigate to the Advanced diagnostics 1 submenu (→ 278)

2. Select Assign diagnostic signal 1 = Level linearized.

3. Select Check mode 1 = Out of range4. Set Upper limit 1 = 85 %.

5. Set Lower limit 1 = 75 %.

Check mode 1 = Out of range checks whether the level is outside a defined range. Aslong as this is the case, the block outputs "0" (INACTIVE). If the level gets into thedefined range, the block outputs "1" (ACTIVE).

Configuration of the foam detection

For the foam detection, configure the Advanced diagnostics 2 submenu (→ 278) asfollows:


276 Endress+Hauser

1. Select Assign diagnostic signal 2 = Relative echo amplitude.

2. Use the Minimum value 2 parameter to observe the echo amplitude for the specifiedlevel (80 % in the example) for a while and determine a suitable lower limit for theamplitude (130 mV in the example).

3. Select Calculation type 2 = Mean.

4. Enter Sample time 2 = "60 s".

5. Select Check mode 2 = Lower limit.

6. Enter the amplitude limit determined in step 2 into the Lower limit 2 parameter(130 mV in the example).

With these settings, the Advanced Diagnostic Block behaves as follows:• If the amplitude is above 130 mV (i.e.: no foam), the block assumes the digital value

"0" (INACTIVE).• If the amplitude is below 130 mV (i.e.: foam present), the block assumes the digital

value "1" (ACTIVE).

Configuration of the block linking

The linking logic is configured in the Advanced diagnostics 2 submenu (→ 278):

1. Select Link AD 2 to = Digital output AD 1.

2. Select Linking logic AD 2 = AND.

With this configuration the output of Advanced Diagnostics 2 assumes the followingvalue:• 0 (INACTIVE) - if at least one of the two blocks is in the "0" (INACTIVE) status.• 1 (ACTIVE) - if both blocks are in the "1" (ACTIVE) status.

For the example this means:– A diagnostic signal is output, if the level is within the defined range and the signal

amplitude is below the threshold (i.e. foam is present).– If, on the other hand, the level is out of the defined range or if the signal

amplitude exceeds the threshold (i.e. no foam), no diagnostic signal istransmitted via the switch output.

The digital output signal of Advanced diagnostics 2 can be linked to the switchoutput of the device:

Expert → Output → Switch output → Assign status (0485) = Digital output AD 2
